1. I took my Photo Embellishment and Advanced Transparency kits off my blog, so they won't be available anymore (sorry). If you are really, really, really needing one, email me (karencrussell@charter.net) and I'll see if I can't pull enough supplies together to make a couple extra kits.
2. For whatever reason, Josh decided that it would be a good idea to change the sound on his alarm clock - so I woke up at 4:30 am to the sound of screaming monkeys in an Amazon rainforest (and then again at 4:15 because he never actually gets up when the alarm goes off - he just hits the snooze button a time or two).
3. I forgot to pick Coley up at the bus-stop again yesterday (only this time, they actually let him off the bus and he walked home - I ran to the door after hearing the doorbell ring 5 times in a row, wondering who in the world is rude enough to ring my doorbell like that?).
4. I should have my new class schedule posted by the end of the week (meant to have it up last week, but it just didn't happen).
5. I just finished up the projects for my next class (It's called "Scrapbooking Outside the Box - named after a really great store I taught at in Bend, OR) and they turned out super-cool (I'll post some pictures just as soon as the kits are ready to go - probably in early January).
6. I really don't want to work out this morning.
7. Annie is sick again (poor little sweet-pea).
8. I promise to see what Creative Imaginations thinks about making some more scalloped edged border stickers.
9. Did this layout the other night (I hadn't scrapbooked in forever). Kind of embarrassed to post it because it is a little on the "giddy high-school girl crush" side...so mock me if you feel so inclined. It's from that song "Love is Alive" by the Judds - I heard it the other day (hadn't heard it in years) and was so crazy about the part of the song that says "love is a man and he's mine".
So there you go...the title to my "giddy high-school girl crush" layout.
Ok, so you totally crack me up! I love the layout and no I don't think it is "giddy high-school girl crush", more of that feeling should be present in all marriages :)
So it is snowing this morning and Paul is on the road in the big truck, I will be so glad when he gets home!
Poor Annie, I am sending lots of 'healthy vibes' her way! lol

Can't wait for the new class schedule! I'm hoping to catch round 3 early next year! I LOVE the layout! I may just scraplift the title, because it is so sweet! That is a great picture of you guys, very happy! And there is nothing wrong with 'giddy high-school girl'. That's probably one of the things he loves about you!

Karen, I LOVE that song by the Judds and I am so not a country music fan, but I had that TAPE in high school and still love it--love to sing that song LOUD! Perfect for that great picture of the two of you. I think I said "awww" out loud when you posted it the other day!!

Karen , I love the layout. What is the white detailing - a transparency or rub-ons? Must know ! Michelle

That is what love should be, so let everyone see it!! I look forward to finding that kind of love. Sorry to hear your little one is sick.
